Through Legacy and Modernity The BSA Gold Star 650

In many ways, the 650cc spot has scratched the perfect itch for me as a motorcyclist. What started as idle curiosity gave way to possibly the most thought-out impulse purchase I've ever made. My Interceptor 650-gleaming chrome, bright blue paint (and of course, endless peccadilloes and fit-and-finish flaws)-has been a fast friend through years of rides, both solitary and in great company. I'd started to believe I'd outgrown single-cylinder motorcycles entirely-until I swung a leg over BSA's re-entry into the Indian market: the Gold Star 650.

At first glance, the Gold Star's classic design captivates. The tank's sweeping lines, subtle chrome accents, and quintessentially retro twin-pod instrument cluster hark back to a golden era of motorcycling. Classic Legends has done an admirable job of honouring the BSA name, balancing modern needs with a respectful nod to history.
